Preparation of Benzeneacetic acid,4-chloro-a-hydroxy-: it can be prepared by p-chloroacetophenone through bromination, hydrolysis and acidification reaction. Mix chlorobenzene, carbon bisulfide with aluminium trichloride at first. Then add ethylanhydride into the mixture with stirring. The reaction should reflux for 2 hours. And then after a series of washing, drying and vacuum distillation you can get 4-chloroacetophenone. Then add bromine into 4-chloroacetophenone at reaction temperature of 36-40 °C. Then go through washing by water and sodium hydrogen sulfite to get 4-ω,ω'-dibromoacetophenone. At last, you can get the desired product by means of hydrolysis, neutralization, extraction by ethyl ether, drying and crystallization.
Uses of Benzeneacetic acid,4-chloro-a-hydroxy-: it can be used as pharmaceutical intermediates. In addition, it can react with methanol to get 4-chloro-mandelic acid-methyl ester. This reaction will need reagent 2,2-Dimethoxypropane and catalyst p-Toluenesulfonic acid. The yield is about 68% at reaction temperature of 55 °C.
